Fort Collins Rocky Mountain IPA

Brewed by Fort Collins Brewery
Style: India Pale Ale (IPA)
Fort Collins, Colorado USA

12 oz bottle from Oak Tree. Pours a super deep reddish amber with an average size foamy off off white head. Flavor of caramel, toffee and pineapple hops. Medium bodied with tight small bubbly carbonation. Flavor has lots of bitterness throughout with notes of toast, toffee, caramel and some citrus rind. This one is more bitter then flavorful, much like lots of girls after dating me.

Bottle. Ill admit I bought if just for a rating. Some hops but nothing remarkable. Some of the usual floral, pine, honey, citrus etc. Eh

Bottle. Pours a clear deep orange with a large lasting frothy white head. Good lacing. Nice aroma of resiny, herbal hops backed by caramel malt and some fruit. Flavour’s hoppy and fruity along with sweet caramel malt. Average bitter finish. Medium bodied. Pretty good IPA -- better then I expected.

Amber colored beer poured from the bottle providing a full rocky head that quickly diminished. The glass laced nicely as I drank. The aroma is hoppy with citrus /pine and a hint of molasses sweetness. The tasty is bitter with some saltiness. The flavor does not match the liveliness of the aroma. This one is about average. Drinkable but I wouldn’t go out of my way to have one.

Copper colored with an off-white head. Strong aroma of pine resin and grapefruit. Moderate caramel sweetness hits the palate first, then is overwhelmed by a resinous hopiness. Nice long finish.

bottle as an extra from brewandbbq resiony hop aroma and darker than a normal ipa really nice hop flavor that has a really long finish, that fades after the first sip....decent but then again I am super spoiled being in cali.....

Bottle. Miedium sized head that was fizzy and off-white and moslty diminished, fair amount of lacing, fast-rising carbonation, hazy, and an orange golden hue. The aroma was hoppy, floral, citrus, caramel, and malt. The flavor was hoppy, citrus, bitter, and some caramel. Fairly smooth mouthfeel and medium in body. Not an over-the-top hoppy IPA, easy to dissect this one as it was not anything to get overly excited about and left me not wanting this one again. It is not a bad beer, it just did not leave me wanting to look for this one again.

Talk about going in the wrong direction.... After drinking the NG Weizen beer, I opened one of these, and damn. Not what I was hoping it would be. Hopefully the next beer of the evening will make up for it. Pours out an orange to red color, with a nice white head on it. There is some aroma of hops and malts which isnt bad. Pretty floral smell actually. The taste is where the beer loses it for me. It is drinkable, but that is about as far as I would go. The hop flavor is good but it is overwhelmed by the malt presence. Not really balanced, and when compared to my daily drinker IPA (2 Hearted) there really is no comparison. Drinkable in its own right though, and I wouldnt refuse to drink it, but I am not sure I would seek it out again either.
